for friends fighting hard battles

"be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle"

I wish I could give your heart peace.I wish I could say or do something to make it better.But I can only offer that I'm here - though Iam a bitter, selfish, prideful person, I will try mybest to be here for you - and I can carry your burdens with you.

Don't keep it in, don't feel like you can't share. Ifyou open up and I ignore, forget, don't understandthe depth of your struggles, am not there in theways you need, then the fault is with me, notyou, the things you're going through, or the wayyou're feeling.And if you want, if you don't mind, let me makean attempt, however imperfect or unpoetic, howeverhonest and real on my part, to tell you of theOne I believe CAN give your heart peace. Whocan do something to make it better.Who carried your burdens long ago.I am trying to remember this message, too, dear friend.I am feeble, fickle, weak, and small. As I said, I ama bitter, selfish person. I am full of fear, a worrier.Let us walk together toward Him, learn to layour burdens down and sit at His feet.
